What is the best lawn aeration method?

• <div><p>While your lawn will reap the benefits of core aeration faster than liquid aeration, the liquid solution will last longer and have more cumulative effects. If your lawn is in really bad shape, try both. By creating holes in the soil with the core aerator, you’ll make it easier for your lawn to absorb the liquid aerator solution. You might have to apply the liquid aerator several times during the growing season, but again, the positive results will be more cumulative than with core aeration on its own.</p></div>

Q: Is a lawn care company worth the cost?

• <div><p>Yes&mdash;hiring a professional lawn care company is worth it if you don&rsquo;t have much free time to devote to lawn care. Lawn care pros will ensure that your lawn receives the vital nutrients it needs to grow and thrive, and you&rsquo;re guaranteed to have a healthy, beautiful lawn. Aside from that, it&rsquo;s a convenient service that frees up your time so you can do the things you love and enjoy. </p></div>

Q: What is better: spike or core aeration?

• <div><p>When it comes to combatting the effects of soil compaction, core aeration does a far better job for a longer period of time&mdash;because it actually removes dirt rather than just pressing holes into it. By taking dirt out from under your lawn, core aeration allows more light, air, water, and nutrients to penetrate into the soil below and help your grass&rsquo;s roots grow even stronger.</p></div>

Q: Should I pick up plugs after aerating?

• <div><p>Don't pick up or dispose of aeration plugs. They will break down by themselves in one or two weeks. Rainfall will speed this up, as will watering the lawn. Mowing helps, but don't mow the grass too soon post-aeration. It's unusual that the plugs would remain after three or four weeks, but mowing and raking will break them down by that point.</p></div>

Q: How often is lawn aeration recommended?

• <div><p>The frequency of lawn aeration depends on factors such as soil type, grass variety, and lawn usage. In general, it is recommended to aerate cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass or fescue once a year during the fall. On the other hand, warm-season grasses such as Bermuda or zoysia benefit from aeration in late spring or early summer. However, it's essential to assess your lawn's specific needs, as signs of compaction and reduced grass health may indicate the need for aeration outside these general guidelines.</p></div>
